An article by Alon Israely and George Socha appearing on the insidecounsel.com website.

This article discusses the need to utilize the proper technology and tools to create an efficient eDiscovery workflow.

In order to properly proceed with the eDiscovery process, the article states, "The e-discovery team must ask the following questions:

• “Where is the data we need? “
• “How can we separate it from what we don’t want?”
• “How can we find and preserve it easily without inconveniencing a lot of people?”"

The article provides to tips on how to proceed, and offers some idea of various steps that should be followed as part of an overall eDiscovery management plan.  The article further states, "The EDA process does not have to be an expensive or cumbersome part of the EDRM process. Rather, it is the entire EDRM process writ smaller, designed with a narrower focus and conducted on a smaller scale. EDA also can become non-burdensome and low-cost when piggy-backed on other e-discovery tasks such as legal hold notification."
